Finn-Erik Cooks - Halloumi fries with ranch dressing and Sweet Ginger dip.

Recipe below video.

Halloumi fries for two:

• 1 block Halloumi
• 2 stalks of spring onion
• 1 dl pomegranate
• 2 dl wheat flour
• 1 egg
• 1 ts curry powder
• 2 ts sweet smoked paprika
• Fred The Chéf Sweet ginger sauce (or sweet chili sauce) - in Meny stores Norway
• Ranch dressing (my recipe below)

Ranch dressing:

• 1/2 dl light mayo
• 1/2 dl light sour cream
• 1/2 dl light Kefir (or buttermilk)
• A handfull fresh dill
• A handfull fresh chives
• 1 ts onion powder
• 1/2 ts garlic powder
• 1/2 ts salt
• 1 ts ground pepper
• Fresh lemon juice

Start with the ranch dressing.
Mix mayo, sour cream and Kefir smooth. Finely chop the fresh herbs and toss in with the dried spices. Mix and taste in some fresh squeezed lemon juice.

Make the coating for the fries.
Mix flour and spices well. Make sure that the container is flat in the bottom, so it's easier to cover the fries without breaking them.

Whip up the egg in a separate bowl. Also smart to choose one with flat bottom.

Make the fries.
Cut the Halloumi cheese into slices, at the thickness of fries. Then cut each slice in three, leaving you with perfect sized fries.

Dip the fries separately in whipped egg, then in the flour-spice mix. 

Add extra virgin olive oil in a medium pluss hot pan. I use 7 out of 9 on my stove. Allow the oil to properly  heat before frying.

Fry on both sides until golden, like above. Place on kitchen paper to remove excess oil.
​ 
Plate the dish and add ranch, sweet ginger, finely sliced spring onions and pomegranate.
​Enjoy! :)
